Butter - West U.S.

Released on September 03, 2025

Butter manufacturers indicate spot cream loads are more than ample to meet the 
needs for additional amounts above contracted volumes. Cream demand is mixed. 
Some butter manufacturers report not bringing in any additional loads of cream 
beyond contractual intakes, despite their churns running under 100 percent 
capacity. Churning operations are more focused on retail butter production than 
bulk butter production. Despite inventories being built for Q4 demands, salted 
butter loads are readily available for buyers. Unsalted butter loads are 
somewhat tight for the start of September. Domestic demand is steady. Export 
demand varies from steady to strong. The CME butter closing price further 
weakened, declining to $2.0125 on Wednesday, September 3.
